“I have always had the environment at the heart of both my personal life and my business, so I was delighted to find CSR-A and get to know the team. After taking their CSR training course, I have been inspired to not only put my own business through the accreditation process, but to become a CSR enabler for small businesses. The course is easy to follow and gives a great foundation for building your own CSR strategy and to acknowledge what you are already doing within your business. Highly recommended“.
